Single tracks Okole and Okole Zjazd

“Okole” – quite difficult, but the most picturesque single track in the Land of Extinct Volcanoes.

Information

  • most of the route runs through the old forest
  • consists of the main single “Okole” and the connector “Okole Zjazd”, which allows you to drive the picturesque uphill route again
  • length of routes:
    – single track “Okole” – 10 km
    – single track “Okole Zjazd” – 1.3 km
    – two routes at once – approx. 15.8 km

  • an additional attraction is the viewing platform at the top of Okola, next to it a good picnic area with a roof and benches, be careful the viewpoint is not directly on the route
  • I recommend the descent around sunset (sunrise), it is like in a fairy tale
